With decades of experience in bringing medical instrumentation from the
research phase, through development, and into the market, the scientists
and engineers at Kestrel Labs have gained extensive knowledge and experience
in virtually all phases of medical device design and development. Areas of
particular expertise include:

Kestrel Labs has developed a unique specialized wet lab for in vitro studies
of medical devices. The lab allows: benchtop testing of photoplethysmographic
devices on tissue simulators circulating human or animal blood over essentially
all possible analyte levels and over an extremely wide range of clinically
possible hemodynamic conditions; precise testing of invasive and noninvasive
blood pressure instrumentation; testing of various other invasive and
noninvasive medical instruments and prototypes; environmental testing of
ensors and devices including thermal and humidity cycling and static elevated
or reduced temperature tests. Testing services include:

In vivo testing and calibration of commercial prototypes and pre-510(k)
or PMA products

Kestrel Labs, Inc. abides by the U.S. Office for Human Research Protections
(OHRP) guidelines for the protection of the rights, welfare, and wellbeing
of subjects involved in research conducted or supported by the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services. The Company operates under Federalwide Assurance
(FWA) #00004878.

Kestrel Labs owns and maintains several Radiometer OSM3 CO-oximeters and, given
that they are no longer supported by Radiometer, has had to develop expertise in
the maintenance and service of these instruments. Because many other labs have
recognized the importance of these instruments, and found themselves in a similar
position of needing service for these instruments, Kestrel Labs now offers its
services to repair, maintain, and calibrate these instruments for outside labs.
